How to equip one shield in two (or more) weapon slots.

[media_junkie_2000]

Ok, I have yet to figure this out, and I am sure I will be rolling my eyes at how simple it is but how do you equip one shield across multiple weapon selections?

For instance in weapon slot 1 I want to use a scimitar and light shield. In weapon slot two I want to use a mace and a light shield.

How do I move the shield from weapon slot 1 so that it also shows up in weapon slot 2 so when I switch from scimitar to mace I still have a shield in use?

Thank you.

None, and it doesn't look possible given the way things are set up (both for one item to hold two slots and for it to not add weight twice).

How in the world did that get past beta-testers?

Pretty sure it's not a feature, which is kinda embarassing because Neverwinter Nights could manage that. And it's pretty ridiculous to carry two shields around for no other reason than that you don't feel like using the same one with your backup weapon

They might add this later.
They did this for PoE later by patching.
It is doable.

For now you can do what I do and just edit your save game and add several shields becouse at some point I got tired of this.

It was a feature that got requested ny several of us and we were informed along the lines of "we would like to implement this as it makes total sense. We will see if we have time for it along with everything else."

Guess they didn't have time for it.

After months they can't manage something this trivial?

Why on god's green earth is this not fixed yet?

If shield must be swapped when changing weapons - why not armor too?

This is stupid beyond measure.

It disappoints the hell out of me to help create a game where the dev's can't manage to handle the most basic things. LAME. The ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ shield must be sharable amongst weapon-sets. It should even cost extra action to swap out a shield. That takes two hands and would be impossible in the middle of a battle. Truly. You have to strap the damn thing on, FFS.
